Summary of the invention My kit is provided with a container having a removable lid. The container has two fiat recesses which are relatively shallow separated by a compartment which is relatively deep.

The plate and the magnet (which is a bar magnet) are separately disposed in corresponding recesses. The magnet has holes accommodating the screws. The screws and tape are disposed in the compartment.

This kit can be used in the home, in storage areas such as basements, in automobiles and camping as well as many other uses. The magnet can be secured by tape to an article or surface either as a weight or for holding other articles or items. The magnet can also be secured by the screws to a wood surface or can be secured by magnetic attraction to a suitable magnetic article or surface. The metal plate is magnetic and can be disposed on one side of an article with the magnet on the other side whereby the magnet attracts the plate and the article is held sandwiched in between.
